Shea Butter

Unrefined, organic shea butter is used in our body bar, sunscreen (sunshield), and hand salve.  Shea butter is derived from the nut of the karite tree native to Western Africa. Reputedly made popular by Egyptian queen Nefertiti, who is thought to credit her beauty to regular use of shea butter. African women have been harvesting the tree’s nuts, crushing and boiling the contents to extract the butter since ancient times.

Shea butter is rich with natural vitamins (A, E, F) and antioxidants and considered a wonderful moisturiser. In its raw state, shea butter is often used for smoothing wrinkles, sun protection, scar prevention, eczema, skin allergies, insect bites,

When used in soap, shea butter provides silky moisturising, anti-aging properties as well as healing against rashes.
